The exhibition Progress and Hygiene, devoted to the pitfalls of modernisation in the context of the idealistic faith, characteristic for early 20th-century art and science, in progress and the possibility of shaping a new society based on racial and cultural purity, as well as its links with the ideas and utopias of modernism, is accompanied by a catalogue with extensive visual material.

The publication includes essays by Prof. Zygmunt Bauman, Prof. Monika Płatek, Rev. Adam Boniecki, Dr Marius Turda, and the exhibition’s curator, Anda Rottenberg, as well as descriptions of the featured works and artist biographical articles.
